We run to Nottingham via Derby in the morning, not sure what time as I don't sign Nottingham (Sheffield crews sign via Derby, we sign via Chesterfield at Leeds).

But yeah, the 253/254 (HST) with the powercars at either end are still going strong 30 years after the introduction. The more modern shit that you get (220/221/222) really are dire, too much noise, an engine under your seat and poor ride quality for passengers.

Remenicing about the old days lol
